This is a great challenge for our ability of dissolving (optical) illusions - I’ve never seen such a strong optical-illusion trick. See here there-is-no-moving. Can you release the unconscious activity of your mind which constructs itself the illusion of movement?

Cool illusion !
I am not an experienced meditator but if you pick a spot on the image and don’t move your eyes it doesn’t seem to move.

I can’t see any movement (although I am subject to other optical illusions). Now I’m wondering if there’s something wrong with my eyes. 
I can. As @anon87721581 said, just focus on one point really hard and it is going to stop.
For me, meditation is a game of chance at this point. Most of the time I get nothing out of it except the feeling of profound calm and contentment. But sometimes, very rarely, I have an experience so deep and in some sense transcendent and life-changing I wonder how I could live without it. It all comes down to focussing really hard on that one point for as long as you can.

I can stop and start it depending om where I focus my eyes. I can also de-focus and see it double. I rather doubt that this is a meditation effect. I think I could control where I focused my eyes before I started meditating.
